When you die, what would you like your family to do for you? Do you have a preferred method of burial?
I’m planning on donating my body and organs (if not destroyed by my genetic disease). I want to donate my body for research purposes so that they could study my brain for sz research and the rest for general studies.
I’m yet to select a hospital to take my deceased body for research. I might select the hospital that cares for me.
Please know that I’m not suicidal. As a person who is dealing with a neuromuscular disease, I’m simply preparing in case I die due to my symptoms.
The hospital takes care of the funeral arrangements so that it works out with that too.
I have already registered to donate my organs and body to science. I think it is a good thing. I have loved ones who survived because of organ transplants. I won’t be using them anymore, so I see no reason to let them just rot.
@Om_Sadasiva. I’m with you but I wanna have it taken to another step I wanna be used as nourishment for a beautiful flower bearing tree
Add on: or roses
I feel the same. I’m going to get registered soon but here in Korea you have to pick a hospital to donate your body to science. So I’m working on that soon.
My parents do find my decision morbid for a young woman to consider. But I don’t know how fast my condition is progressing so I don’t know when I should start preparing.
What do you know about doomsday, nick? I didn’t know you were into comics.
I’m going to be cremated. My wife says she’s going to put my ashes in a build a bear. I told her I don’t want my soul trapped in a stuffed animal. I don’t think she’ll listen.
I’ve already told my family about it, assuming Phil goes first (he’s 12 years older than me)
I want to be buried next to him, probably in Erie, IL where he grew up and lived too raising his kids. Idk cuz neither of us have a plot.
And he doesn’t have life insurance.
I just want a Christian burial, and/or funeral, which I’m sure my family will have done.
I want to be cremated. I don’t care what they do with the ashes. They can even throw them in the toilet. But I don’t want to take up space in some graveyard for decades.
